Micropollutant biodegradation is selected by the interplay among environmental conditions
and microbial community composition. This study investigated how different electron …

Groundwater, a major source of drinking water worldwide, is often contaminated with
micropollutants. Although microbial communities in aquifers and soils have the capability to …

Removal of organic micropollutants was investigated in 15 diverse biological reactors
through short and long-term experiments. Short-term batch experiments were performed …

Removal of micropollutants (MPs) during activated sludge treatment can mainly be attributed
to biotransformation and sorption to sludge flocs, whereby the latter process is known to be …

For many polar organic micropollutants, biotransformation by activated sludge
microorganisms is a major removal process during wastewater treatment. However, our …

Removal performances of organic micropollutants by conventional activated sludge (CAS)
and aerobic granular sludge (AGS) were investigated at a full-scale wastewater treatment …

The goal of this research was to identify functional groups that determine rates of
micropollutant (MP) biotransformations performed by wastewater microbial communities. To …

Several studies have shown that organic micropollutants (OMPs) are biotransformed
cometabolically in activated sludge systems. However, the individual role of heterotrophs in …

The development of efficient and low-cost wastewater treatment processes remains an
important challenge. A microaerobic up-flow oxidation ditch (UOD) with micro-electrolysis by …

The biological potential of conventional wastewater treatment plants to remove
micropollutants mainly depends on process conditions and the predominant microbial …
